I just gave birth a month ago with my 2nd child and I am having a hard time managing my time with my work. As soon as I got home I'm tired already and all I want to do is SLEEP but can't coz I need to mingle / have time with my kids as well ...

I totally understand how you feel.
I too have to manage my time between work and family.
Try setting up a schedule to help manage your time. It is a great way to map out your week. And it also gives you some flexibility to change priorities if you have to.
When you get home take a few minutes (if you can) to catch your breath before you dive in and start your home duties.
You can unwind in the car before you get home. I do this all the time because it gives me some "alone" time before I start my busy evening.
Hope this works out for you.
God Bless....

I can completely relate. Unless you can quit or go part time you will probably be tired until the baby is sleeping through the night. I had to work and I was tired all the time too. I don't know if you are married or not but if you are tell your husband to help out. I know that if I can just lie down for even fifteen minutes after I get home from work I feel a bit more energetic and can make it through the evening better.

It is seriously unfortunate that you have to work before the kids start kindergarten but I understand this is unavoidable in certain circumstances. As children need their mom 24 hours a day and work and sleep need to be factored in, there is no avoiding the 'deficit' spending time wise. It would appear that the father is gone, so you are forced to work, but as much as possible . . . find ways to live as economically as possible and reduce work whenever you can as these are critical years for the children and their development. If there is no way to reduce the work, the child will be raised by someone else as a default reality. Should you maybe give adoption some serious consideration ? It is tough but a child raised by day care workers is a very funky option.
You are in a tough situation and have out prayers.

I don't think it would be prohibited if "all security measures are met".But how are you going to assure that all security measures are met.Security locks and gates are broken all the time.60% of the time the security guards fail to protect you. And so on. Why not ask a woman living alone how she feels living alone.It may seem like a free life but believe me it sucks.There comes a time when you need someone to look after you and there's no one.Men are not there to protect you bcz nowadays its not very practical but men were made by God to provide you with the caretaking you need.whether in form of a father,brother or a husband. And no matter what anyone says a woman needs to be looked after just as much as a man needs to be.

Treat household chores as play and your child an angel to wipe out the stress of daily living.

I need more information to answer this question.
